Your favorite missile?

By Fuzzywookie, in X-Wing

Thread Tracers?

Clearly useful and effective... but favorite?

Sets up the deliciousness of all of my other missiles, so pretty much yes. Probably gonna need Leeachos for maximum effect for a Scum Z alpha strike though.

Cluster Missiles on N´dru Shulack with Lone Wolf and Glitterstim. It´s a total destroyer

Prockets & A-wings.

Cluster Missiles w/ TIE Advanced & Accuracy Correctors.

Advanced Homing Missiles w/ Rhymer or Blount.

Loves me some cluster missiles on a Punisher with either FCS on Redline or AC on Deathrain.

Pocket

Concussion with guidance and glitter on a cheap Z95 is becoming mine.

The one my opponent uses and completely misses.

Guidance Chimps are going to do nice things for Concussion Missiles. A TIE Bomber has a 2 dice primary. Concussion Missiles + Guidance Chimp is 2 positive results minimum. Potentially 4 positive results. It's good odds you're getting through even Soontir Fel. And if you're Alpha Striking a Decimator? Yup. Whatever you roll turns into damage. And at 22 points (because you're obviously adding Extra Munitions!), it's not the most threatening thing on the board- so it's not getting burned down ASAP.

Same loadout on a Z-95 is 16 points. That could be a frightening way to burn down an ace fast.

Exactly what I was going to say, although a chip on the Z and LRS on the bomber.

For other ships it is:

A wings/Vader: Prockets

Blount: Ion Pulse or xx23

Concussion.

Favorite... the one that crushes all hope from my opponent as I kill his PS ace.

Reaction... Priceless

I like bombs better

Blount with Advanced Homing Missile. I've one-shot or crippled so many aces with that combo. It's always satisfying to see Corran go down in the first round of firing, after dealing a direct hit under the shields that never even saw dice.

Concussion missiles with EM, my favourite.
